Detection of a new Mycobacterium species in wild striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay. Journal of clinical microbiology, 2001, Volume: 39, Issue:2 Investigation into recent declines in striped bass health in the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland resulted in the isolation of a putative new species of Mycobacterium. This isolate was obtained from fish showing skin ulcers and internal granulomas in various organs. The isolate was slow growing at 28 degrees C; was nonchromogenic; showed no activities of nitrate reduction, catalase activity, Tween 80 hydrolysis, tellurite reduction, or arylsulfatase reduction; grew best at low salt concentrations; and was urease and pyrazinamidase positive. By PCR a unique insertional sequence was identified which matched nothing in any database. Analysis of the nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequence also indicated a unique sequence which had 87.7% sequence homology to Mycobacterium ulcerans, 87.6% homology to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and 85.9% homology to Mycobacterium marinum. Phylogenetic analysis placed the organism close to the tuberculosis complex. These data support the conclusion that the isolate probably represents a new mycobacterial species.

Anti-adhesive activity of sulphated exopolysaccharides of microalgae on attachment of red sore disease-associated bacteria and helicobacter pylori to tissue culture cells. Letters in applied microbiology, 2000, Volume: 30, Issue:6 Because of the affinity of certain bacterial species for sulphated glycoconjugates exposed on the epithelial cells of susceptible hosts, we hypothesized that sulphated exopolysaccharides of microalgae can be used in anti-adhesive therapies against bacterial infections, both in cold- and warm-blooded animals. In this study we found that adhesion of the human pathogen Helicobacter pylori to the HeLa S3 cell line, and adhesion of the fish pathogens Vibrio campbellii, V. ordalii, Streptococcus saprophyticus, and Aeromonas veronii to spotted sand bass primary tissue culture cells, can be effectively blocked with the various sulphated exopolysaccharides used.
